ON MONEY MEASURE;;

ITEMS AT LENGTH
Discussion cn Effort to Reduce
I Appropriation causes ngui.
L Winthrop Gets By
The State, 10. i
Practically no progress was made 4
on the general appropriation bill yesterday
by the senate despite a long;
day and nijrht session devoted almost '
entirely to the measure.
Xo real hitch was encountered un- J
?? /3 _
til the appropriation lor uie u
ment of education was reached and at;
this point a regular wall of o'ostruc- '
tion was found and the senate debated
on this section parr cf the day and
all night without reaching a vote, so;
much so that Senator Johnstone reminded
the senate that if the general i'
assembly wanted to adjourn sine die.'
this week some speed would have to:
be injected.
An amendment offered by Senator'.
Moise to strike out $400,000 for guaranteeing
a seven months' term and insert
in iieu thereof $140,000 started j,
+>io Spnstor Moise sooke fori
this amendment at the day session,!
submitting facts not contradicted to
show that the law as adminisered now 1
is a great injustice to the majority of .
the counties which pay for the education
in a minority of the counties, j
Sutler Would Amend
At the night session Senator Butler
offered as a substitute for Senator
Moise's amendment another amend-.
ment to the section so as to give the}
counties 50 per cent of the amount
collected in each countv and to pro-!
? i
vide for the adding to this fund by.
the counties themselves, if necessary.:
This amendment revised the debate
and brought forth a speech from Sen- j
ator Butler in beftait 01 all tne coun-j
ties and the poor children of* all the
counties as contrasted to a minority
of the counties as at present, accord-^
ing to his opinion.
Senator Jeremiah Smith was'
brought to his feet in reply to the argument
of the senator from Chci'okee
and he defended the help to the :
needy schools as now given and de-j
clared that educating the children was
. , , I
a state problem rather tfran a county
question. Senator Smith declared
that Horry county was the stronghold
of civilization in South Carolina, that:
his county had restored white supremacy
in South Carolina in the days
when the state was in the clutches of,
the carpet baggers and scalawags.:
The veteran senator's address touched
the senate so that he was loudly,
applauded, something that is seldom ;
allowed in the upper house.
Senator Laney of Chesterfield was'
also called to ms leet m aeiense 01.
the children of the state who are not:
able to get an education unless help-!
ed by the state. Senator Lanev said
the question of whether or not the1
state or the county was to be estab-!
lished as the educational unit might
as well be established now and for
all time. He urged the senate to .srive
the "little devil Lack in the stix" a
chance, to educate those who can not
fV,
tuutaic vc. i nv o^iiuiui jLivin
Chester waged a fight for the retention
of the appropriation and the prin-j
ciples of the slate educating its children
who can not otherwise get an
education. He pleaded that the Iaw|
be left alone.
Other Amendments
Senator Wight man likewise came |.
to the defense of the weak schools, j.
pleading for the state to educate the \{
children in the districts that need ,
help. He said it was the state's duty ' (
to educate the young and now that J.
the children are here he urged that .
the thing most vital in their life be i
not taken from them. He urged that
the amendments offered be killed.
Senator Moore of Abbeville offered j
amendments to increase the appnroi
'
priation for guaranteeing a seven
months term from $400,000 to $420,000
and the figure for consolidated
and graded schools from $265,000 to
$295,000. but these amendments were
not acted upon.
The net result of the senate's ac
tion on the appropriation bill so far
has been to increase the amounts of- J <
fered by the finance committee by a :
total of $1,200, this advance coming
in $400 increase to each of the ex- j
aminers in the bureau of examiners :
of the department of education.
A proviso allowing Winthrop to
retain the hospital ami dormitory fees
will give that institution approximately
$15,000 more, but this does not
come as an actual appropriation from
the treasury.

k;H ?
T, ? > v-1 a iu\ 'lik turkfll U;> iil tnc
morning session only six sections were
dispose*! of, the hardest figrht being|
made on the proviso for Winthrop
college to retain the hospital and j
dormitory fees for her own use. this j
amendment finally being adopted. A'
similar amendment was adopted for:
the University of South Carolina!
i
rues day and several M-nators arguod
hat if "you are .toing to do it to
>nc" to allcw the same proviso for
ill.
The Clemson college section earryng
$242,862.8~> was passed without
>bjection with the exception of a
juery from Senator Moore, who ask>d
''when the tick eradication request
?vas going to get rid of these ticks."
Amendments Voted Down
Senator Duncan offered an amend
nent to the Winthrop appropriation
:o add $500 for a spee'ai audit, but
this was voted down. Senator Duncan
then offered an amendment to allow
$19,000 addition for an uncompleted
building, but this was voted
down after debate.
Senator Hart then offered an
amendment to allow the trustees to
retain hospital and dormitary fees
the same as was allowed for the university,
and the York senator led the
fight for the passage. The amendment
developed a rather warm fight
several senators declaring that this
was nothing but an additional appropriation
and they were against it,
The.amendment would give the col
lege the use of from $12,000 to $15,000,
Senator Hart said, and he urgec
if-j r>nssjitrp hf>fniKp it was needed
-vv- The
amendment was finally adoptee
after considerable debate. As passec
the Winthrop section gives $373.130.96
and no further change will be
made unless it is in free conference
The same proviso added to the Win
throp section of the bill to allow the
trustees to use the ho?nital and dor
mitory fees caused an effort 10 be
made to reconsider the vote wherein
the university section was passed ir
an effort :d take up this proviso as tc
the university again, but the motioi
to reconsider was tabled and latei
when another effort was made to reconsider
the vote whereby the re
considering motion was tabled th(
president ruled such motion out oorder.
Senator Goodwin attempted tc
have a reconsideration. Senator;
Pearce and Miller objected am
fought oil the reconsideration. Ir
arranging the university appropria
tion this amendment allowing the fee;
to be retained was taken into consid
eiation by the finance committee, bui
the Winthrop amendment was no'
considered, it was said.
No effort to change the figures fo]
the state negro college, the John de h
Howe Industrial school, the school f01
the deaf and blind and the state med
ical college was made and the financi
committee's recommendations wenthrough
wiih the following amounts
State negro college, $72,450; Johr
de la Howe Industrial school. S5fi,
"02.04; school for the Jeaf and blind
|104,620: medical college, $85,435.

The senate concurred in the house
resolution extending sympathy to th<
Aiken storm suerers. After the res
c;ution was adopted Senator Well;

at te college.
"Lloyd George," said the youns
student.
''Correct!" the inspector made answer.
"And who became prime minister
after he had won his first seat al
East Fife?"
"H. H. Asquith," answered the student.
"Correct again!" replied the interlocutor.
"And now tell me. Bethrani
